So I'd caution against this path for something you actually care about.
Well, I think the author needs to understand a LOT more about history.
None of this spent fuel is really that spent, has plenty of other use cases, and should be used. Also, storing it in concrete casks for 40 years is perfectly safe and has caused 0 harm.
The cost is largely due to regulatory hurdles that are slowly being eroded.
It's really a PKI infrastructure masquerading as a secure DNS system.
There's value in a PKI infrastructure for domain names, but it probably won't look exactly like DNSSEC. And there's value in encrypting DNS, but that is definitely not DNSSEC. I helped invent and deploy DNSCrypt which is strong encrypted DNS, but doesn't provide the PKI components. There are plenty of ways to do that part, however, that would be much lighter in weight than DNSSEC.
I'm not motivated to do it now with my current day job (American Dynamism) but someone out there could.
Some of us do it more than others, depending on the topic or point of the post. Market maps do it a lot more than position pieces, as you'd expect, for instance. Anyways, the feedback is good.
